The Real Ass Woman Bi-Annual Retreat

// A Deep Dive into Sisterhood //

For the fifth time, I’m sending out a howl to my real ass women of the world to gather in-person together to take a deep dive into sisterhood unlike we’ve ever experienced before.

We’ll be gathering under the light of the Cold Full Moon just weeks before the Winter Solstice this year — as the light is rapidly receding during this time of year, we’ll mirror the seasonal pull as we use this time together to nurture and nourish ourselves with immersion into the web of sisterhood.

This is not sisterhood for the faint of heart.

If you’re seeking a fluffy experience with women who all look the same, adorned in only white clothing, strictly speaking in new age lingo - this is not the retreat for you.

The sisterhood I call upon and call into these circles I host is real ass sisterhood, who's foundation is rooted in reality and in truth.

It’s sisterhood that asks women to show up in the totality of who they are, unapologetically, fiercely, and fully.

It's sisterhood that will call you on your shit in the most loving way, so that you can know yourself more completely, feel more deeply, and live more fully.

It's transparent, honest, loving, intimate, nourishing sisterhood.

This is a circle of sisterhood that wants all of you — there is no part of you that is too much for this space, and that’s what makes these experiences healing for women on such a cellular level.

Because while we aren’t the etheric goddess new age kind of sisterhood, we’re real ass sisterhood whose love knows no bounds and descends so far down into the marrow of our bones and capillaries of our heart, that we leave a changed person.

The real ass sisterhood we cultivate in these containers is the kind that quenches a thirst you’ve always had, but maybe never realized.

In sisterhood, we flow with the cycles nature and the elements guide our journey together over the course of five days.

Calling on the energy of the Full Moon, we will use that to support us in releasing the things in our lives that we have come to completion with — the things that have been running as a dull ache in our lives, slowly pulling at our energy over time.

The stories, idealizations, untruths, and ways of living that are no longer of service to us, so that with the witnessing of fierce sisterhood — we can ritually step into what we’re ready to claim heading toward the Winter Solstice and a new calendar year.

Almost all of the women’s retreats that I’ve facilitated have fallen on a Supermoon, so not only will our time together be charged by the light of the Full Moon, but our time together will be bookended with a potent Supermoon to top it all off.

We invite you to splay your heart open wide in the safety net of sisterhood as we root ourselves into the potent desert of New Mexico.

Immersed in the elements with the crisp Autumn air to breathe into our bodies, the fiery warmth of the sun by day, vast desert for miles and the mountains at our back, we'll be engrossed in the natural world during our moment out of time together.

The makeup of our days will be a mixture of yoga to open our bodies, intimate circle time with one another, time for self-care and personal exploration, potent ritual, ceremony to honor the elements and the Earth, spontaneous dance parties into the night, sisterly snuggles and story-telling, and groundbreaking transformational experiences that crack us open to even more of the truth of who we are.

This is your invitation to claim your space in sisterhood.

This is your invitation to come home to yourself.

This is your invitation to lean into the realness of who you are.

Come fill your cup with the nourishment of sisterhood before the winter season descends upon us.

We're ready for you.

Lodging / Accommodations

Leaping Deer Ranch

Leaping Deer Ranch is a luxury bed & breakfast on 185 acres, with well appointed rooms, plenty of space, large covered porch decks, and beautiful scenery you will enjoy a peaceful respite.

Adorned with gorgeous ceramic tile and southwestern inspired decor, this place will hold us in coziness as our home away from home for the weekend.

With views of the mountain behind the house, valley and pastures for miles, and a forest surrounding us, this will be an epic immersion into the New Mexico nature.

The mornings is the best time to get a glimpse of the deer. There is a bobcat that lives in the area, but will not bother any humans and has only been seen twice.

We will have a floatation therapy tank that available to us to book for sensory deprivation meditation sessions upon request.

Our morning yoga sessions will happen in the 1600 sq. ft. studio that has scenery windows that overlook the valley and pastures bellow, and the same room will be re-purposed for workshops and spontaneous dance parties throughout the day.

Leaping Deer Ranch also showcases 27 pieces of fiber art from the artist Marianne R. Williamson (not the author) and numerous other pieces of fine art. It will be a little bit like staying the night in a museum, feel free to take an hour or two to enjoy the pieces of work.

There's a small rock path garden in the front of the house to walk and enjoy, as well as a bonfire pit where we will hold our fire ceremony and nightly fireside gatherings.

Traveling

The following airports are the closest options to choose from, that you can fly into. Be sure to coordinate with your sisters if you'd like to carpool, as we will likely have many women from the West Coast driving with room in their cars, and other women who will be renting cars which you can all chip in on and share to travel to the location together:

2.20 hours from Albuquerque Airport

1.45 hours from Santa Fe Airport

(Note: This are relatively rough estimates in time and distance based on Google Maps. Traffic and unknown conditions may have these times vary.)
